one thing that has always bothered me about theatre, and broadway especially, is that ever since i was little theatre has always been “a girl’s things”. it’s shown as girly and young boys who are interested in theatre are assumed to be gay or are made fun of. and yet, in major theatre productions, you hardly ever see women. women aren’t known producers, they aren’t recognized playwrights and composers, and plays- mostly musicals- hardly ever have more than two female characters in the spotlight. it’s yet another “girl’s thing” that’s dominated by men.

just like women are expected to be great chefs at home but most of the worlds master chefs are men

just like teaching K-12 (which is part child care) is seen as women’s work but the university level is dominated by men in tenured positions

just like high fashion has a shit ton of male designers who are considered “elite” but most men would ask their wives to sew a button their shirts

Just like men “make art” and women “do crafts”
